MRS. FISHER RETIRES
(\ his article was reprinted from the Ho-Tanka, the Brockton High School Newspaper.) Mrs. Nellie Fisher will be retiring at the end of this school year, after teaching in the Brockton Elementary School for 14 years.
In her first year, she taught second grade, but in the 13 years since then she has served as first grade instructor. Mrs. Fisher resides 2 miles south oi Brockton with her husband Bill, who is a mailman. The Missouri Rivei posed a problem for the Fi hers a> it separates their form from Brockton, with j brid^_ iearby, the Fishers i 'ade l'ie daily trip across to E9 ocktoi on a rowboot. With an ol ' car stationed on the Brockton side of the 'iver they could drive the rest of the way into Brockton.
Vandals were also a problem. It would not be uncommon for Mr. and Mrs. Fisher to cross the river some morning and discover their battery stolen or the windows shot out of their car that transported them into Brockton. Now there is a bridge they use, that was built
in l�68, but the Fishers didn't have a diiect road to the bridge until J970.
In her first 3 years at Brockton, she didn't miss a day . She It it was her obligation to let the principal know it sta wasn't coming in to school that day but, there was almost no way she could do this because she didn't have a phone installed in her house until 1970.
When Mis. Fisher first took over the first grade, there were no Kindergarten oi Htad-start programs to prepare the students for school. At first Mrs. Fisher had to toilet-train some of her students, and two even came to school not knowing what a pencil or pen was . This was quite a job for her as she has the longest class in the whole school every year.
Now with the existence of Headsta't and Kindergarten programs, her job has changed, and now she can strive for her basic objective of teaching her chi Idren to read . Mrs. Fisher has a theory that you can't use one method of teaching for all the students, therefore she uses 5 or 6 diff-erent techniques.
